5.4: Changing Engine Oil
WARNING!
- Make sure the start switch is in the STOP position before draining.
- Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We sug-
gest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do not throw
it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
WARNING!
- Do not use gasoline for cleaning since it is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
1. Press the start switch to the STOP position and make sure the fuel cap is fully closed.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the maintenance cover.
3. Place a container next to the engine to catch the used oil (Refer to Fig. 5.2 for CI 1000 and Fig. 5.3 for CI
2000 / CI 3000).
4. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain the oil into the container by tilting the generator.
